Project Restart

Project Restart Participants will receive mentoring and the opportunity to pitch for micro-grants to be used toward their goals.

Project Restart is a program that aims to reduce recidivism through providing life skills training, entrepreneurship training, mentorship and business capital to formerly incarcerated individuals. Through Project Restart, individuals with criminal convictions receive cost-free 12-week virtual personal development, financial education, entrepreneurship training and exploration of education and employment options. Upon participants completing the first phase of fundamental programming, each participant then commits to one of three pathways: Education, Employment or Entrepreneurship. After the second phase of programming is completed, participants will be matched with a mentor who will provide guidance and support. During the final phase of the program, participants have the opportunity to pitch for capital that will be used to finance their goals.

​​This program is based on best practices and includes exploration of cognitive behavioral therapy, financial education, entrepreneurship training, mentorship, general life skills and connectivity to valuable supportive community services most needed by participants.

It’s not often we can share our work becomes most is virtual or inside correction facilities. Yesterday was one of the times we got together face to face with some of this year’s cohort members.

This group is committed to the continued process that we are all committed to on this journey to self-fulfillment. Six weeks down, six more to go, let’s get it!

One of the most important methods of making a positive impact on ourselves and the community is to show up. It was heartwarming to see some of this years cohort members at the Teenz on point field day to give back.

Sometimes a setback is the missing link to a breakthrough. This story exemplifies vulnerability, accountability and the beauty that can result from granting a second chance.
